Growing Tomatoes

http://www.lowes.com/GrowAlong

There are several different types of tomatoes. There are the larger slicing tomatoes which are used for sandwiches and salads. Paste tomatoes are good for spaghetti, pizza and sauces. Cherry and snacking tomatoes are smaller, sweet and easier to grow.

7 Tips for Growing Tomatoes from Lowe's:

1. Plant them in full sun, where they will get 6-8 hours of daylight.
2. Plant the tomatoes in a good soil. Improve the drainage and nutrients in your soil by adding compost.
3. Give your tomatoes 2-3 feet of space to grow properly and avoid diseases.
4. Stake or cage your tomatoes when they are young to provide a good support system.
5. Water the tomatoes with about an inch of water a week. Water the roots and soil, not the leaves, to avoid diseases.
6. Check your tomato plant's leaves for pests.
7. Fertilize your tomatoes by sprinkling a slow release fertilizer around the roots.

Great vid on tomatoes. EVERYONE, check out my vids. This is my first year growing and im also growing tomatoes among other plants. I like to see the progression of plants on youtube and i bet you do too, so ill keep everyone posted. I find growing from seed is more fun and exciting because your starting it all by yourself, From start to finish. And Theres nothing more satisfying than that when it comes to planting :)
